Unfortunately, even the most gut wrenchingly honest and emotional music becomes bland and repetitive after nearly an hour, especially when most tracks sound pretty similar. A shame, as if this was trimmed down and more refined, this would be a stellar album.
Whilst still not great, this track at least showcases that Meek still has the lyrical talent that made him a force in the past. Drop the autotune though please

Enjoyable, but falls a bit flat towards the end

Couple that will quite an extensive track list and run time, and it starts to feel like the album is fighting itself in terms of what it really wants to ... read more
